Gwyneth Paltrow, 38, tries to look down with the kids as she steps out in turned-up jeans and Converse high-tops

She's impressed her fans with two cameo appearances on hit US TV show Glee.

But it seems Gwyneth Paltrow might have taken her new-found popularity with the younger audience too much to heart.

The 38-year-old actress attempted to look trendy and cool in London yesterday as she stepped out in a pair of turned-up jeans and Converse high-tops, but ended up looking more like a skater girl than a Hollywood star.

Mother-of-two Gwyneth sported the unusual new look as she returned from the supermarket with her children Apple and Moses.

Country Strong star Gwyneth received rave reviews for her role as substitute teacher Holly Holiday on Glee.

After a successful first episode, which saw her perform Singing In
The Rain with the students of William McKinley High, Gwyneth most
recently returned to the show to teach the pupils about sex eduction.

And Glee creator Ryan Murphy confirmed he is making further plans for the actress-turned-singer to reprise her role as Miss Holliday in one more episode 'next year'.

'Gwyneth is sort of the muse of the show - she's somebody who I write on the weekends and say, "What do you think about this for an episode even if you're not in it?",' he told TVLine.com at PaleyFest in Beverly Hills.

He added: 'She has opinions. She's great.'

Ryan also confirmed that Kristin Chenoweth will return as tipsy April Rhodes in a forthcoming episode in the current second season.

And along with the host of celebrities keen to appear in guest roles in the show is Gwyneth's mother Blythe Danner, who admitted she would be thrilled to be invited to appear.

'Oh my gosh! You know what, I will do anything. If they ask me to be
on, I’m there, but I don’t think that’s going to happen,' the Meet The
Parents star told OK! magazine.

'I love it! She (Gwyneth) has
found that there is real joy and it opening up with singing and dancing;
the endorphins get released and its an experience that you cant get any
other way.'
